For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)
The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Word for the month--
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the Strength of my Life; of whom shall I be afraid?
The Word for the day--
Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the Just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect Day.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"But the path ["Way" Prov 12:28] of the Just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect Day."
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know His will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the Voice of His mouth.
Romans 1:16,17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.
John 1:4,5 In Him was Life; and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not
Psalm 56:11-13 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto Thee. For Thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not Thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the Light of the Living?
Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your Love may abound yet more and more in Knowledge and in all judgment; that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the Day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of Righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Again, the Word for the day--Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the Just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect Day.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
10.31 Morning:
Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being His counsellor hath taught Him?
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in His presence.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.―Born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
My Spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.―The battle is not yours, but God's.
The Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands.
Zec 4:6 Isa 40:13 1Co 1:27-29 Joh 3:8 1:13 Hag 2:5 2Ch 20:15 1Sa 17:47
